I am ordering carpet for my Ranchero and my Mustang, and the question has come up - do I want the original 80/20 loop style (original) or the nylon cut pile automotive style?
Is there any advantage to the cut pile? Is it some kind of shag or plush carpet?
I may consider it in my Ranchero if there is some advantage (it may be slightly more expensive). The interior on it will get some kind of updated seats, so I am not as concerned with a complete original look.
Thanks.

one advantage is the cut pile is easier to clean i think. you will find it will stand out as incorrect in your car, as you said you dont care. i also believe the loop pile maybe wears better though. get other opinions please. ive had both-i like both as long as the cut pile is good quailty. later

I agree with gmshifflett. Seems like loop is supposed to be longer wearing since there are no cut edges exposed.
